Cloud and rain.
West bay has plenty of food establishments and the big breakfast was good, despite the central amusement park (easily avoided) this seemed a nice place, its another town where the old railway station is now a tea shop.
The path onwards starts with a steep climb but quickly they diminish to easy walking, the rain eased midday but continues damp at times.
Part of the walk is on chesil beach a huge/long shingle bank where its interesting to see a few plants that have evolved to live in such a nutrient poor situation.
